How to Use the Filtered Search
The Map Search tool in Land Portal allows you to quickly filter and locate land opportunities based on specific criteria like property type, location, ZIP code, and acreage. Instead of manually sorting through thousands of parcels, Map Search helps you narrow down properties so you can focus only on the deals that match your investment strategy.
In this article, we’ll walk through how to use the Map Search tool in Land Portal to filter properties and view the results directly on the map.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
- Log in to Land Portal
-
Open Map Search
On the left side of the dashboard, click Map Search.
This is where you will set your state, county, and all additional filters to refine your search results.
- Select a State and County
Next, choose a state from the dropdown.
Then, select the county you want to search in.
For example: Georgia, Macon County.
- Choose a Property Type
At the top of the Map Search panel, you’ll see three property-type options:
Vacant Lots – Filters properties where the building square footage is zero, meaning there are no primary structures on the property. Small structures like sheds may still appear because they are not counted as building square footage.
Vacant Structures – Properties that have a structure but are considered vacant according to USPS vacancy data.
Residential Properties – Properties that have residential land-use codes.
- Refine by City (Optional)
You’ll now have the option to narrow your search by city.
We are using Andersonville.
- Filter by ZIP Code (Optional)
Scroll down to find a list of ZIP codes within the county.
Select multiple ZIP codes to include them.
Use "exclusions" if you want to avoid certain ZIPs.
This feature is especially helpful in larger counties with multiple ZIP codes.
- Filter by Acreage
Now let’s filter by acreage range.
For example, enter 2 to 10 acres and click “Apply.”
This narrows the list—in this case, to 348 results.
- View in List or Map Mode
Switch to “List View” to see the data in table format.
- To visualize your data on a map, click “Show on Map.”
As you zoom in, you can click on each parcel to confirm acreage and vacant status.
This helps ensure that each property matches your criteria visually.
